Need Something Different?
If the templates above don't match your needs, select "Something else" and describe what you want to analyze. For example:
- "I want to track database edit frequency"
- "I need to see content organized by parent page"
- "I want to identify unused databases"
Scoop's AI will recommend the right configuration for your specific use case.
Snapshotting for Content Tracking
Notion content changes constantly - pages get edited, databases grow, content gets archived. Configure your extracts as Snapshot datasets to:
- Track content creation velocity over time
- Monitor editing activity patterns
- Identify stale content that needs attention
- Compare workspace structure changes
Pro Tip: Enable snapshotting for databases and pages. Documentation teams need historical data to understand content freshness and identify areas that need updates.

Analysis Examples
Content Velocity
Track how fast content is created:
- Daily/weekly page creation rate
- Database creation trends
- Content growth over time
Activity Monitoring
Understand who's active:
- Most active editors
- Recent edit activity
- Content creation by user
Workspace Health
Assess documentation freshness:
- Stale content (not edited recently)
- Archived vs active ratio
- Trash accumulation
Organization Insights
Understand workspace structure:
- Databases per parent page
- Content hierarchy analysis
- Integration (bot) usage
Best Practices
- Share with Integration: Only content shared with your integration will be accessible
- Start with Databases: Databases are often the most valuable data sources
- Enable Snapshotting: Track content changes over time
- Monitor Archived Content: Regularly review what's being archived or trashed
Troubleshooting
Connection Issues
- Verify your Internal Integration Token is correct
- Ensure the integration is active (not revoked)
- Check that you've shared relevant pages/databases with the integration
Missing Data
- Only content shared with the integration is accessible
- Ensure pages and databases are explicitly shared (workspace-level access isn't automatic)
- Some workspace-level data requires workspace integration capabilities
Permission Errors
- The integration needs to be added to each page/database you want to analyze
- Parent pages don't automatically grant access to child pages
- Check Notion's integration settings to verify capabilities
